Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nodding, he took the game and started to play his level, winning fairly soon and leveling up. He was focused, intent on winning the game, or at least getting further than his father had. "See? It just takes practice," he said somewhat absently, pursing his lips as he narrowly escaped death by a goompa.

"That was different, we're adults," he said, waving a hand dismissively. "Besides, this is Aysun we're talking about. He's too young for that kind of garbage! Not that our marriage isn't wonderful and magical, darling. He's just... He's a baby He's our baby."

"Thanks!" He blushed slightly at the praise, thinking for a moment as he arrived at the bridge to destroy Bowser for this world. He pursed his lips, then started his attack, grinning as he killed Bowser and was permitted to the next world.

Too focused to fully comprehend that Nikolai was being sweet again, his eyes sparked at his husband's words. Scare him? Huh. "Sounds like a great idea," he said, rubbing his hands together.

"He's old enough to know better!" insisted Leon, holding up his index finger and shaking it. "Look at him! He's gonna take what he wants from our baby, then toss him onto the curb. Next thing you know, he's gonna be just as bad as you were before we met, and even I won't be able to stop it." He raised a fist to his mouth, large eyes watching the two.

Sawyer shrugged, flipping a burger and not looking at Cecil. "I guess," he mumbled, staring down at the grill. It was just too awkward!

Leon prepared to shoot a response back, when he thought about it. What was he worrying about? It wasn't like Parker were some Rolling Stone-esque rock star intent on only sleeping with his son and then moving on to another floozy! "I guess you're right. I hate that." He smiled a little, wrapping an arm around Nikolai's waist. "Besides, it won't be too bad if he ends up like you. He'd be lucky to be as sweet and loving as you are." Kissing his husband's cheek, the man suppressed the thought that appeared in his mind. He didn't want to imagine a life without his family.

"Not really," he replied, remaining silent for a few moments before being suddenly unable to hold it back. Looking up at Cecil, he revealed a very red, very embarrassed face. "Do you really want me to do that to you?!" he asked, voice cracking.

Following Nikolai's eyes, Leon paused in his own sweet response to watch the couple. He furrowed his brow, then looked back to Nikolai. "Okay, do I even want to know what you did? Or should we just kiss and thank God that's not us?" he asked.

"You still shoulda told me!" he insisted, setting down the spatula and covering his face with his hands. "I-I mean, this thing of yours, is it bad enough that you need someone else to satisfy it? D-do you have a dominatrix? Wait, what are they called when they're men? Never mind, I don't want to know!" His hands fell to his sides, lower lip trembling before tightening with determination. "But if that's what you're into..." He trailed off, then held up a shaking fist.
"I'll do it!"

A chuckle escaped Leon's lips before the kiss. "A fetish? Please, try fetishes," he corrected before his arms slid around Nikolai's waist and he kissed back, happy just to hold his husband in his arms. He'd never been this content, certainly not with Maggie. This was something else altogether. It was better, it was perfect.

"I said I'll do it," he repeated, swallowing hard before speaking again. "Cecil, I love you. If this is what you want, I'll be a good boyfriend and at least try it."

After a few minutes of kissing, Leon could smell his food about to burn. He pulled away reluctantly, touching his lover's cheek. "I love you," he mumbled, sneaking one last kiss before pulling away and starting to move the meat around. "You know, I could teach you how to do this," he offered.

"I'm volunteering!" he insisted. "Come on, at least once. I can do it. I won't freak out!"

Parker shrugged, pausing the game to look up at his father and his boyfriend, both incredibly awkward even from all the way over here. "I don't know, they're really weird and awkward together."
